Hello! any tricks to fix Very badly loosen pinionrace keeper? It's so loose that move is about 0,1mm[some 0,04inch)aprox.
Or is the only way to march to partshop and order new set of aftermarket cases?It's shame because other components are in pretty deacent condition...
Any kind of adhesive glues are probably out of question because clap is big.

Re: Bad case of cases
Please explain a little: The "keeper" is the setscrew?
Has the race spun in the case to make clearance?
If so, this is not a difficult repair for a competent machinist with a good mill.
Races are made in as much as .050" (1.27mm) oversize, so that the case bore can be recut true to the main axis by centering upon the sprocket race.
Beware that use of a potting compound, such as locktites or epoxies, can insulate the race.

I'm with Cotton. More info needed. Do you have a parts manual that you can identify the part(s) in? I always tell people to get a shop manual and a parts manual, when they have an old bike. Parts manuals are great for drawings. If you have one, give us a part number. Or, give me the year of your engine, and I will scan you a drawing from the parts manual.

Re: Bad case of cases
somewhat off topic, but I couldn't resist!
I don't think I could ride a bike that gave me the clap!
(btw relic, in good humor, "clap" in the US also can mean gonorrhea)
Good luck with it, listen to the members here, nobody will steer you in the wrong direction.

Re: Bad case of cases
Hello.
I probably couldn't find correct words.So I'll try again
I mean that the insert (which holds pinion bearings outer-race)in right hand cases casting is very loose.I suppose that
it should be very solid. :'(So if there is any good ways
to repair it,please let me know?
Thanks,
relic

Re: Bad case of cases
Sounds pretty scary.
I have pinned the cast-in insert for the sprocket side, but never the pinion. I really don't know if there is enough matrix metal to allow it.
Pinning kits and the special bonding agent "Fluid Weld" are available from http://www.silver-seal.com/

Re: Bad case of cases
I have been sending parts off to Superior Cycle Service for over 20 yrs. They have always been honest, fair and dependable. If Phil says he can fix it, it will be done. The old insert will have to be bored out and a new one made to be pressed in. Place your trust in these people and all will be OK.

Re: Bad case of cases
Phil @ Advance is the guy who just repaired/restored my '64 heads. Beautiful work, reasonable turn-around. I'd assume that his case work is also outstanding. (officially he will not accept work from individuals, a licensed shop must send him the work) That is usually not a problem for most of us. We Pan owners generally have a shop or two that will take care of us quite well.
